Trump’s decision to withdraw the Paris Agreement will lead to action, innovation and collaboration by private sector to preserve the environment.

“Fortunately, President Trump has a different vision: a future in which families can enjoy the prosperity that abundant energy provides and the quality of life that comes from that prosperity. We can’t get there from Paris;” these final words by Tom Mcclintock in his article “Trump rightly picks abundant energy and prosperity with Paris Agreement withdrawal” proves there is still extremism in a kind which runs against the primary codes of humanity in the United States. The choice of Donald Trump as president must have alarmed us about the societal condition we live in.

Paris Agreement was and is a deal made for the well-fare of human being now and for future generations. It was worked on and reached at in December 2015 by 196 parties at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in Paris. 195 countries signed it among whom were China and Russia whose economic condition have been affected in the short run.

Paris agreement is not forcing any country to do jobs in limited time, but gives a free plan to advance with in order to decrease elements like greenhouses which lead to global warming. Trump’s decision to withdraw from the agreement was not a totally economic decision. What Trump means to do is to impose the superiority of the United States as the super-power of the world. Pyongyang’s statement against the decision has an impressive sentence which puts the whole issue in a nutshell: “This is the height of egotism and moral vacuum seeking only their own well-being at the cost of the entire planet.”

The US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, nevertheless, will lead to better climate condition. This is because it will be an end to years of the government’s approval but negligence towards climate and environment. Obama administrative executives and his predecessors accepted the environmental agreements but has always failed to promote them. Obama was the one with the most environmental concerns while the system of administration in the United states did not let him implement the reforms he meant to do.

Trump’s decision will actually encourage the private sector to collaborate more to preserve the planet. Climate change and environmental calamities are not things for us to be expecting in the future. Hurricanes, rise of sea levels, floods, draughts and extinction of species are only some samples of these environmental disasters human being is coping with at the time being. To this list, the water issue and food security must also be added.

Decisions like this by the governments has an encouraging effect for the young and motivated groups and private companies to do researches for safe and clean sources of energy and come up with solutions for the climate issues. Getting replaced for the government gives the chance to inventors and innovators to plan for the future of the planet and use the science and discoveries in a positive way to build a hopeful future for the next generations of human being. What Lynelle Cameron says in his article is a hopeful inspiration for us to move on:

Trump’s decision to bet against science and diplomacy is catalyzing the action, innovation and collaboration that is core to our American values. Perhaps he will be remembered for the way his actions rallied each of us to take our future in our own hands.
